Thus far I am pleased with this rug. I selected it for a room with just one east-facing window. Because it gets only morning sun, I wanted something light in color with shades of grey, light brown, and charcoal to blend with the furnishings while brightening the room. This rug does it perfectly. My only complaint is that after several days it still has a number of ripples. I have followed the manufacturer's instructions to re-roll it in the opposite direction and let it sit for several hours. That helped but did not completely remove the ripples. I think I will have to eliminate the pad so the rug can relax against the wood floor .My Greyhound, Domino, demonstrated her approval of this handsome floor covering, joyfully rolling around on it as soon as I put it down.
